Resolve Disputes

I have had the distinct pleasure and luck of working with William on a long running commercial court case that required expert input. I have found William to be exceptionally professional and detailed in his approach. Both his subject matter knowledge and his experience and knowledge of what is required of independent expert witnesses are superb. He has brought real value to the case and is a pleasure to work with. He is very prompt in his responses which are always carefully considered. In our experience he interacts very well with opposing legal teams and opposing expert witnesses. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

William was referred to us by a highly regarded barrister’s Chambers specialising in IT disputes and he did not disappoint.  He was able to cut through complex factual and technical disputes and ultimately helped us to manage the matter to a successful resolution.  He was very thorough and detailed in his approach and was a pleasure to work with.

Invigorate Performance

Excellent engagement of the stakeholders at all levels – very high quality end of programme feedback and lessons learned produced.

Jacqui G. Head of Operations

I have worked on the transition from one incumbent supplier to a new ITO with the work led by William Hooper.  Throughout this work, the team have been diligent, attentive to detail, clear in communications, and thorough in the processes necessary to ensure the Authority met its own obligations and carefully tracked those of the supplier.  This was achieved by being robust with the outgoing incumbent, maintaining an excellent relationship with the new supplier and recommending areas to enforce changes where necessary.  Delivery was by a combination of local team and offshore administrative and analytical support to achieve rapid response, balanced with good value.  William was an integral member of the client team and relied on to inform key contractual, commercial, and service delivery decisions.  I would have no hesitation in recommending William’s support to other organisations.

Nick R. Director of Digital Services

William’s attention to detail, planning, business and commercial knowledge has really helped get the team to the best possible place.

Form Service Relationships

William was the customer representative on an IT Outsourcing contract. We worked very closely together in determining the parameters and acceptance criteria for key milestones on the programme. I found William a pleasure to work with. His style is one of precision, yet pragmatism. He understands the need for clear requirements and balances this with practicality and an understanding of the overall strategic picture.

Lloyd S. Supplier Commercial Manager

William showed his ability to accurately and innovatively craft a proposition and think strategically, drafting and creating the programme….I found William to be conscientious, proactive and focused on  business value as opposed to the mechanics of creation that so many people overly focus on.

Maggie B. Sales Director

Very sorry to hear of your impending departure, especially as you have brought a modicum of sanity, some acute insight and no small measure of humour to proceedings thus far. I send our very best wishes to you for your next engagement!

The future state of this programme had to be identified quickly, built and delivered to demanding timescales without damaging a unique part of the business. This proceeded very competently and delivered an aligned solution which was a significant step change. People and attitude had to be changed with alignment of the leadership team.

He manages the stakeholders well, targeting their individual and collective needs to obtain buy-in and support.
